Monster Truck Accident Leaves Nine Injured in DeKalb, Illinois
A monster truck accident outside a local auto parts store in DeKalb, Illinois left nine people injured after the vehicle lost control and veered into a crowd.
The monster truck was part of a tour sponsored by Napa Auto Parts and attracted an estimated 100 people to a demonstration on Thursday. The driver of the monster truck performed several stunts and was wrapping up a car crushing performance when he lost control and plowed through the crowd.
At least nine people were injured as the monster truck hit spectators and crashed through a fence before coming to rest on a set of railroad tracks. None of the injuries were considered serious.
